Bern baby Bern

HI all, not sure if we will get pics loaded with this post, ancient computer. We had a couple of days in Bern Switzerland, a beautiful medievil city with lots of old buildings & churches that had lots and lots of steps to climb!!

City is on a river and has a bear pit nearby with 2 beautiful brown bears. Deb gave them a taste of apple, not sure how they liked it.

We then spent a couple of pleasant hours in a town called Brig, high up in the mountains, lots of snow to be seen on the higher peaks.  Crossed over into Italy this morning, border guards came on the train & checked everybody out, Deb was not frisked this time, and we are now in a town called Arona on Lake Magiorrie in northern Italy. Hope to go on a lake cruise tomorrow but the weather forecast is not looking good.

Keep the comments comming and will add to this soon. Cheers all

(Mandy, we have recieved both of your comments, great to hear from you)
